Hello, I want to submit Vendor Invoices into the system. I see these two similarly named set of entities available in OData API, and I'm not sure which set to use: I see posts online where people one or the other.

Can someone please advise? Thanks!

    Please use the Vendor invoice Header and Vendor invoice lines to import data in the system., You shall be able to view the imported invoice in the pending vendor invoices form. The journal data entities shall be used for the Invoice journal only.

    Hi,

    VendorInvoiceHeader/VendorInvoiceLine : Used for recording invoices against purchase order and creates record under pending vendor invoices

    or VendInvoiceJournalHeader/VendInvoiceJournalLine: Used for non purchase order invoice using journal (AP > Invoice s> Invoice journal)

    Hi, Generally you can see data entity name in Open in Excel button on top right corner of form in D365 F&O. As Komi mentioned, if you want to create vendor invoice then use  vendorinvoiceheader and VendorInvoiceLine.

    VendorInvoiceHeader / VendorInvoiceLine  are when the invoice are created.

    VendInvoiceJournalHeader/VendInvoiceJournalLine are hit when you post the actual Invoice. So, you should choose based on what you are trying to achieve.
